Why, will the big changeover involve a big black bar across the bottom of the screen?

Seems sorted now at time of posting. Perhaps they were running tests for the big changeover?

I can just see the media release now... "The new 'black bar' device will enable the BBC to communicate the news to viewers in a simple and direct fashion, reducing the traditional clutter of assorted graphics and images."

No different to Andy Crane signing off from viewers in Northern Ireland in the 80s heyday of CBBC. I think the point to be taken from this is to tell the presenter not to bother looking like they're ending the broadcast completely, but being open and up-front about the fact that some viewers are leaving, but we're carrying on for others. It will look more natural then, for both the BBC1 and N24 viewers.

Absolutely stupid wasn't it. "Bye bye". Pause. Continue as if nothing happened.
A good job Harry return around at 11.30am then as I guess if he'd arrived at 12noon it would have caused problems for the BBC1/News 24 simulcast as even though they were anchoring live from the scene, from what we've been told here I guess the gallery couldn't have played out one from the scene on N24 and one from the studio on BBC1 at the same time.

Why would they test it live on screen? Why would they leave the old one on top? Why?

the black bar could have been the result of tests they were doing, testing a new ticker but having it covered for live broadcast?
Or it could have just been an error! Did it affect BBC World broadcasts?

It wasn't a ticker thing, it was an output thing. The whole output was shifted up, heads were cut off, the live bug was too high to be seen, it wasn't anything ticker related.

Bail is quite right. In my original post on this subject, I highlighted the ticker specificially, as I'm not accustomed to seeing so much of it, nor so high - but Bail is correct in saying that the whole image had been 'shifted' higher.

I've had a look myself and can see that it is correct on the BBC1 Simulcast, but shifted on News 24.
I would agree with noggin, News 24 needs locking up

I think I may be talking about the same headline bed question that was posted about on the previous page but at 10.10 Nick Owen was doing a latest news thing and the music in the background sounded like a piece from the 1999 package. Am I right or is it just a piece of music News 24 don't use usually?
